Just a spirit bloom icon, right? Wrong. Bungie has been making small changes in preparation for the DLC and it kept bothering me. Why make little, seemingly insignificant changes like this? Is there nothing else they could be working on other than changing the way planetary materials look like? Well they have been.

Notice anything strange about Crota? No? Take a look at his eyes. Now are you seeing it? If you're still not, I took the liberty of editing the picture a little bit to show you just how blatantly Bungie is messing with us.

I took the spirit bloom icon, cut it out, changed its viewing angle, and superimposed it onto Crota's face. It fit like the final piece in a puzzle.
-----------------------------------------------
If you're still not getting it, I'll put it this way. Bungie never intended for Crota's raid to be on the moon because he was originally from Venus (ergo the spirit bloom lookalike). Bungie knew this but didn't want to explain it in the DLC because we'd get even madder (if that's possible) at the sight of more unexplained story bits. Thankfully they left us story obsessed players with a way to figure it out.
Those 3 little eyes held the key to figuring out what this story and universe held.
Bravo Bungie, I'm excited to see how you guys and Valve will work together to make Half Life 3 the most amazing of games.
Thanks for reading!
Edit: For those of you who are taking this post seriously, please don't. If it's not obvious enough, I'm juuust kidding ;)
